This had a cult following at school back in the day...

Harry Kane will surely be desperate for a trophy after a season with Bayern Munich 👀

So what you're saying is you're still in the 'on the fence' camp with regards to Paul Warne then.

If you're quick there's a window round the back I've not got to yet...

We've got the ring doorbell and half a dozen of the external cameras as well dotted around our property - we just pay the £8/month which I thought was a pretty decent deal for the amount of coverage we get. We went for the solar powered cameras (mainly because I'm allergic to heights and don't want to be up and down ladders every 3 months changing batteries!) and I've been very impressed. Despite the fact that some of the solar panels aren't in the best locations - facing away from the sun and in the shade most of the day, the lowest I have seen their charge rate go is 96%. Only 2 of the 6 are currently below 100% (99%) which isn't bad considering we're still only in February and I haven't seen any sun for days! Picture quality is good and any footage captured is stored for approx 6 months iirc and the dogs don't generally trigger the motion capture. If you can afford the cost (and I can appreciate the 100% rise in a couple of years is not something you signed up for) I'd recommend them as a good home security option.

FWIW in an age of increasing censorship, despite its flaws I appreciate what X is trying to do. It wasn't so long ago that we had journalists doing journalism, now almost all are mouthpieces of the Govt/Big Tech/Industry.

Just seen this on twitter, dunno if its already been posted but 16 more games with commitment like this and we'll be a (relatively 😛) happy bunch at the end of the season.

Cotton wool for Collins.

The first bit is about the transfer window

Bit late for the 'live' bit but it was good to see non-League Maidstone knock Ipswich out of the FA Cup at the weekend. You can't beat the magic of the Cup...

It will be hugely disappointing if Forest only get docked 6 points - they will be able to count that on one hand.

Personally I don't really care who hosts the show - they just need to be a good presenter and know to ask the right questions. Similar for commentators. They need to be able to react to the flow of the match and speak with the correct football terminology (unfortunately I do pick up when women get this wrong). They must also have a good voice - I forget his name but there was one (English) football commentator who used to do Scottish football that when he got excited raised the pitch of his voice and it remained at that one same monotone pitch for an extended period - used to drive me mad lol. Punditry is quite different though and I expect my pundits to have played the sport in question, you can't really give an in depth opinion unless you have played it to the level you're commenting on. I don't think thats controversial tbh as we often accuse players/managers of not being able to step up a level, why would we give pundits of a different sport credence? Finally, as tennis was mentioned earlier in the thread here is Serena Williams stating that Mens/Womens tennis are two different sports. Having watched a bit of womens football, I would argue the same applies. Well that was my two cents FWIW but I cancelled my TV Licence a couple of years ago so ultimately don't care. Carry on arguing 😛

Not exactly a reinforcement as such, nor that unexpected, but nice timing non-the-less 🙂

Happy Christmas everyone. Has he been?!?

euphemism? 😐 Same, taking the dogs on the beach. First time I've been on a beach on Christmas Day! Low-key Christmas now the kids are grown up, 3pts and few beers is 'all I want for Christmas' 🎄

Well on the bright side he'll be able to spend more time with his family over Christmas!

Has no one said it yet? Okay then... Tell them £25m with 20% add on.

Thats how I fix my PC! Terminology aside, I was commenting re. the benefit of having trained staff on the touchline able to respond in seconds. Its very worrying when it happens, but if it is going to happen, on a PL pitch is just about the best place. Hopefully the lad will make a full recover and carry on playing.

To be fair, if you're going to have a heart attack in the middle of the pitch during a PL game is probably the place you'd want to have it - response time and trained staff second to none.
